Artificial Green Walls and Vertical Gardens: What you need to know!
In the contemporary landscape of interior and exterior design, artificial green walls and vertical gardens have emerged as popular choices. But what is the difference?
Artificial Green Walls Vs Vertical Gardens
These terms often describe the same idea — using panels of fake plants that interlock together to create a lush, green appearance on vertical surfaces.
There is so much variety now available your wall doesn’t have to be just green; it could have snowy white flowers, tropical fernery or even red roses!
They are ideal for spaces where traditional gardening is challenging, they bring a natural aesthetic to both indoor and outdoor areas.
The quality has been perfected over the years, making it nearly impossible to tell the difference between the real thing!
Purchase Options & Pricing
Individual Panels:
Perfect for tailored projects or adding a bit of nature to specific spots. These can range in price from $100 to $700 each, influenced by size, quality, and design.
You can mix and match panels to match your unique style.
Sample Sizes:
An excellent choice for those wanting to test the appearance before a full-scale implementation. Being much smaller than the full panels, you can expect to pay around $50 - $80.
DIY Kits:
Representing the most economical approach for larger installations, these kits typically include everything required for setup. Often packaged in 5sqm packs these kits offer the best value. Priced at $500+.
Longevity & Care
Lifespan:
Properly maintained, these installations can remain vibrant and appealing for many years, often surpassing a decade. With added features such as UV protection, even in the outdoors, they will last for years and years.
Upkeep:
Maintenance is minimal, primarily involving regular dusting, preferably with a feather duster. For a deeper clean, apply a non-abrasive window or multipurpose cleaner. Then gently wash or wipe (depending on the size you’re cleaning) off with clean water. Dry with a towel of cloth and you’re done!
Other Benefits
Visual Impact:
They offer a consistently fresh and natural look, free from the constraints of seasonal changes.
Eco-Friendly Aspect:
Although they don't purify air like live plants, these installations negate the need for water and other resources typically required for maintaining live greenery. Most panels are now made from 100% recyclable materials.
A final tip for your green garden wall; make sure you buy your Vertical Garden panels from a reputable seller. Be wary of large hardware, retailers, and bargain shops that may stock a lower-quality version. These are likely to discolour, fade or crack.
